Overview

• Juliana M., 26, slipped off a steep, unstable section of Mount Rinjani during a guided hike on June 21 and fell roughly 300–600 meters into the active volcano’s crater.
• Dense fog and heavy rain grounded helicopters and made the terrain too dangerous for ground teams, postponing rescue efforts until June 24.
• Rescuers located her body on Tuesday after drones detected her position deep down the slope but were unable to reach her alive.
• Her family has accused Rinjani National Park authorities and guide Ali M. of failing to close the trail or launch an immediate search, raising potential negligence claims.
• Indonesia’s tourism ministry has pledged a review of extreme-trek safety measures and tighter oversight of guided hikes in high-risk locations.
